Lapbooking Resources

Doing a quick round up of lapbooking resources, I am hoping you can use this list as a springboard to creating a lapbook that your children may be hankering to do.

You know sometimes it’s hard to find a lapbook that fits exactly on the topic your child is interested in doing.

At times, I just turn to my lists that I have bookmarked so that we can put one together even if that means using part of something we make and resources pulled from other places.

Lapbook resources to build your own lapbook

Here is a collection of things I like and have bookmarked and use at times.  Most are free and then I list some at the bottom that I have in my library, but they all give you a starting place.

  • Free General Clip art

Clicker.
WPClipart.
David Dailey Public Domain.
Karen’s Whimsey.
Old Book Art.

Wikimedia Commons.
Pics 4 Learning.
All Free Clip art.
Free Graphics.
Free Clip Art.

Photos sorted by color at Unprofound.  (cool uh?)

  • Clip art History and Science

USGS has thousands of free science images.
LIFE images 1860s to 1970s.
Science to History and other topics.
DK Images. All subjects.
U.S. History Images/Native Americans/Explorers.

Phillip Martin Clip art.
The famous Kings & Queens of England.
Visual dictionary.
Free Water Educational Posters that easily be adapted for a lapbook.
Printable diorama.

Free paper models of the 7 wonders of the Ancient World.

  • Free templates.

Then of course Homeschool Share has a large selection.But be sure to  check out their generic free templates that you can use for any topic.

Learn from the pop up pro, Robert Sabuda and make a cool pop up book.  You have to check out his 3D dimensional books too.

I used some of these books when teaching language arts to the boys.

Plus the books get the creative juices flowing for ideas for any language arts lapbook.  Guess what? I still have our pop up books.

It doesn’t matter what age you are, you can get lost in the beautiful intricate paper pop up books by Robert Sabuda especially when you start folding and moving the parts. These books are part of my “keeper” collection for our homeschool.

  •  Geography resources

Colouring Book of Flags.
Paper dolls around the world.
Free Maps at Worksheet Works.
Free Printable World Maps.

Mega Maps. Cool – Print maps one 1 page to 7 FEET across.

I hope this is a quick shot in the arm when you are trying to create a lapbook that is unique for your children.  I plan to add to this list and update it as I locate my resources on different bookmarks.

Hugs and love ya,

Free Minoan and Mycenaean Minibook for an Ancient Civilization Study

Ancient Roman Unit Study DIY History Costume

Our year end co-op is always worth the time that it “distracts” me. Making a Roman shield and helmet compliments of some free cardboard and an easy costume equals a memorable day for Tiny. I promise to share all the easy how-to tips in upcoming posts.

But now that its May–YIKES– that means curriculum planner updates are coming soon too.  Hold on to your britches as I switch between topics in the upcoming weeks like my home management binder + my unit study printables + adding in my curriculum planner updates and yes I even have another giveaway coming up.

My year end co-op is finished, my New Bee workshops are done for the year and I am feeling all energetic and zippy. Okay—-well almost because the kids said they could use a day or two to sleep in and my house still needs to be put back together. Just sounds better if I say the kids need it.

Today, I want to share with you the next minibook in our ancient civilization unit because we did our own lapbook too while we did the Great Empires Activity Study by Home School in the Woods.

On a side note: I was excited after searching high and low for some great clip art that I actually found some to purchase. You have to love those folks making donations to the Dynamic 2 Moms site because when they donate, I buy for you. I always try to be sure they get a Thank You from me.

Our reading focused on the Minoans and Mycenaean. The Minoans settled on the island of Crete at the same time as the rise of Mesopotamia and Egypt. This civilization too has royal palaces and paved roads.

In Minoan culture, bulls were significant and vaulting off the back of bulls was a sport. The Mycenaean were skilled at using gold, built the first Greek empire and were highly civilized even though all around them were barbarian tribes. That is enough to understand about each culture if you are trying to keep it simple. I like simple.

Minoans & Mycenaeans minibook

This next minbook is a layered book about the Minoan and Mycenaean and all you do is staple on the side. As I have time you know I like to create minibooks that have text and create another set that is blank in case you want to fill in your own information. This one is no different. I have text on one set and the duplicate set is without text.This allows you to use it with both, older and younger children, or to use the information given if you are in a bind for time. We do a lot of writing so I keep our minibooks easy because the focus is on the delight of learning not on penmanship. However, if you are working on penmanship you will enjoy having them blank. As you can see, lots of ways to use all of my minibooks

You know I told you that this lapbook is going to have many different civilizations in it. When I first started homeschooling, I focused on one civilization at a time and I still like to do that, but too after going through them with each kid or each year, sometimes its nice to have a quick glance at one time.  I think it helps younger children to get a panorama of history and its equally important for my older sons because it serves as a review. One reason also is if history is not your first love like it is for us, then looking at each ancient civilization with not so much detail keeps it from becoming overwhelming. I can’t imagine people not wanting to study history their every waking minute. Just saying.

Hugs and love ya,
